Can someone please explain what Pressroll is for?

Maybe with a practical example? Did a deep dive search but couldnt get a clear answer. Does it just trigger a different note if consecutive hits under a certain threshold are detected?
If so whats the practical use for it?
Cheers.

Pressroll notes are triggered if time interval between hits is shorter than Note Off delay.

It may be useful if you can't detect fast rolls accurately and you have a sample of a fast roll to play it back instead.

Yes, that's all it does. If you can't think of a practical use for it then you probably won't need it.

Got my MD configured and have pressrolls working. I cant see a practical use for it with Superior Drummer 3 as the samples are so good as is the triggering of the MD. Even if i dont use it im blown away by the feature list of the MD. Such a great bit of gear.

Well the minimum requirement is a flam so you might consider triggering a clap sound maybe?
